lol ^^^^^^^^^^^ agreed BV = spike = turbo go bang

R33 dont seem to like them at all. I have seen them cause all sorts of trouble first hand, the most common problem i have seen is idoling problems and random spiking

mine isnt one of those shiny GFB ones or the turbo smart ones, it just looks pretty boring and if you didnt know what it is for you'd easily mistake it for just a normal part of the engine bay.

can't remember what brand it is at all??

Yeah i have herd that they are good the turbo smart ones are junk i cant even remember how many i returned for warranty or because it was bad ( cant return something cause it doesnt suit your car or dont want it any more)

yeah quite possibly that could also be apart of the problem of those who dont install correctly

mine spikes to 19psi then holds 18psi

had it tuned on the dyno and it was consistently doing the same thing. so it was able to be tuned to suit using the Nistune.

i have the stonger actuators and -5's

i was going to go for the EBC but the bleed valve works fine.

i used a very long time ago a turbo tech bleed valve and it held 12psi flat no probs....didnt once did i see it spike even while tuning on the dyno....but then i do understand what your saying....they can cause boost spike which in turn could cause the turbo to "go bang"

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
